SAN Francisco, April 30.
An ingenious scheme by which the Chinese

this city was discovered today. A Chinese
resident called at the dock a. which lay the
steamer City of Sidney, on which another
Chinaman who had no return certificate, was
detained, and asked permission to give his
countryman loaf of bread. The suspicious

loaf was closely examined and was found to
contain document written in Chinese, Civ

man how to be temporarily landed by means
Of a writ Of habeas corpus, and how 20 an

A disastrous accident occurred this after
noon on the Phiisdelphis & Reading railroad

with one engine pulling and another pushing,

scattering merchandise packages in every di-
rection. Brakeman Pruitt of the freight
train was on the engine, and was instantly
killed. Fireman John McAfee of the freight
had leg crushed, and is believed to be
otherwise fatally injured. The engineer of

a Problem ForLegislators.

From the New York Epoch.
An exhaustive inquiry into the con.
dition OF some 40, 900 female workers
in New York has been made, and this
is the melancholy conclusion which it
reaches: "The sewing women Of this
city do skilled labor for fifteen hours
day for 80 little pay they must ac-
cept charity or starye." We hear so
much glib talk about the pauper labor
OF Europe, and are treated to SO
many comparative tables showing the
great superiority of American wages,
that such a dictum as this will proba-
bly, come with the force. of a fevela.
tion to the majority of readers. But
anyone at all familiar with those who
obtain aid from any of the numerous
charitable organizations of this city
will ecognize it's truth.
Nor does the dangers to society end
with the pauperization OF SO large q
body ofworkingwomen. The tenement
houses IN which they are herded are
nests of contagion, and no proper pre-
cautions are taken to prevent the
work which they do there from car
rying with it the seeds Of pestilence.
The problem is grave one perhaps
the greavest that the foremost man
tnfactnring city of the Union has to
face-a 1t is service of no small
value to have it's character thus clear.

Expenses in Washington.

Aletter from Washington gives
instances OF expensive living in the
national capital:
~ 1 hear many complaints about the
increased expense OF living in Washing
ton, and the high rents are troubling
many q statesman whose salary is his
whole income. Houses in the fashion
able section now rent from $500 to
$4,000 a year, and the $500 houses
are as rule little ones Of six or. eight
rooms. Almost any kind OF house
that a statesman wants to live in
will cost him from 500 to 5000 a
month, and if he wants a house large
enough to be conspicuous it will cost
from three to five times this amount.
This is a great town for the renting OF
furnished houses, and furniture so
rented brings in as q rule about two
per cent month. A Washington pa
per cont tanning rent advertisements lies
before me as write, and it has col
umns OF houses for rent at from ST.
600 per month down. When you con-
slider that a congressman gets only
$417 a month, you can see thata
house that costs him $500 or $500 q
month takes q large part of his sala-
ry. The cost Of living outside Of house
rent is dearer here than in many oth-.
